Tips from parents who've been

💡 It sits under Gwanghwamun Square, handy for catching your breath mid-trip. 💡After a long day of walking, or in bad weather, it covers an indoor rest and an activity at once.

Tips for going with kids

💡 At the Chungmugong section you can go inside a turtle ship. 💡 Free activities include firing a cannon at enemy ships, rowing and a turtle ship puzzle. 💡 Paid activities such as keyring and pouch making also run.

Travelling in Korea

💡 Hangeul, created by King Sejong, is the only writing system in the world whose creator and design principles are known. 💡 No booking needed and entry is completely free.
